Interesting start! Just to inform you: I am working on a Warplane volume on the Buccaneer.
Everything is more or less ready except for the final artwork.
Book is expected this spring! Book is already announced on the website of publisher Lanasta.

Excellent work! This was one of the three Buccaneer S.2B's used as general test aircraft by the R.A.E. They did not have the enlarged bomb bay with a fuel tank of the standard R.A.F. S.2B.

Excellent colours on the S.2 No.1. I use to watch the Buccaneers taking off when I was stationed in Germany.

At the time I was on II(AC) Sqn at RAF Laarbruch, our squadron was flying the Jaguar in the recce role with Nos.15 (known as XV) and 16 squadrons flying the Buccaneer. It was during my time that the Buccaneer was retired from the two squadrons and they went on to receive the Tornado GR.1

Laarbruch was not far from the East German border and for this reason two Buccaneers were on 24 hours alert armed with a WE.177A tactical nuclear bomb. They could be airborne within 15 minutes. It still was the Cold War!!

We were on exercise ever month for a week at a time, wearing your NBC suit 24/7 and on the last day, wearing your gas mask for at lease 12 hours, do I miss it, the answer is yes! great fun was had by all.
